ABOUT THIS BAND

华裔美国熊 🌸 🐼 🐻 🌸 Seattle-based Chinese American Bear is a quirky, fun, mando-pop/rock duo creating bi-lingual ear candy. #bearpop Their debut self-titled Chinese American Bear album came out on July 8th, 2022 via Modern Sky in China (China’s largest indie record label), and self-released elsewhere. They've been described as the child of Melody's Echo Chamber, The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and The Care Bears. The duo prides themselves on being completely DIY. They write, produce, engineer and mix everything themselves. They often combine retro sounds from the 60's/70's, with lighthearted lyrics about food, flying through space, and other topics that don't take themselves too seriously.   Chinese American Bear has been praised by Lauren Laverne of BBC, featured on Spotify’s Editorial Playlists like New in Indie, Chill Vibes, Fresh Finds Indie, Fresh Finds, Chinese Indie Picks, 組團飆歌, and 獨立最前線, along with H&M’s Official In-Store playlist, and over 10,000 third party playlists. Paste Magazine said “Their creative chemistry is what makes Chinese American Bear’s eight tracks—many of which the duo have been steadily releasing online in recent years—so vivid and imaginative. Their debut is bright-eyed and light-hearted in a way you can’t help but share.” Chinese American Bear also released the album’s masters free to the public for physical reproduction - Following suit of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
